    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    What does “all this” mean? Did he tell everyone that unless there was a message board thread that tracked his every move and social media content he wouldn’t go to that school? Is he asking for a street in every campus to be named after him? Did he demand prima nocte?

    Spring Game April 20th | 7 PM

    I just watched the entire press conference… he was asked a question and he answered the question honestly… just like he answered every other question thoughtfully and honestly. Was he also passive aggressive when he thanked the entire community for showing up and his vision for creating a...

    Not knocking Clark at all but I think she knew it was over after she had consecutive possessions where she bricked the logo 3 and then a really tough inside shot. Both UCONN and SC basically face guarded her the second she crossed half court. Her vision and her passing are unreal… I put them up...

    Lets all root for UConn

    Talk about moving the goalposts… the last defending champion to make the final four was Florida the following season when Noah was still playing. That was 16 years ago for those counting. I think Hurley is a big dbag as much as anyone else but I would say a coach who has done something not done...

    We'll all feel better once we see commitments announced

    Let’s be real… I won’t feel better until we are on the right side of the bubble or the top 25. There is no guarantee the dudes we are going to get and the coaches we will have can put together a team that can get back into the dance. Last year we on paper did very well in the portal and a lot...

    2024 New York Mets Thread

    As is clear by my posting I am very down on this team because I'm seeing the same hitting issues I've seen since the second half of 2022. Just a LOT of pathetic at bats which are not competitive. The last couple of years, on paper anyways, Mets have had the pitching to overcome anemic hitting...

    Already weak pitching staff getting weaker by the outing... a bunch of older hitters on the downside of their career... a bunch of prospects who (outside of one) are struggling to get their footing in the bigs... what could go wrong?

    I think they are all good guys. But can a team compete for a title with these guys as the core of the lineup? The Braves, Dodgers and Phils all seem to have multiple guys who can hit for power and average and have some speed. Sure none of them have the power of Alonso, but I would take. Matt...

    I’ll give him credit… he hasn’t done anything too dumb yet. He could have gone all in on one of the higher end staring pitchers but decided to keep his powder dry. I am going to evaluate him by how quickly he turns over this core. Other than maybe Nimmo and Alvarez there isn’t a single player...

    Come on… a team that can’t shoot against good teams couldn’t use another shooter? It’s not like the D could have been any worse? Anyways I’m glad Girard got to experience tournament success.

    Leadership and fight have been completely missing from this era of the Mets. The only fight they have shown is with each other or with the fans. They have consistently shown that when times are tough they fold. All the platitudes like “I believe in the people in the club house” is all garbage...

    Down 3 after one inning… McNiel pops up with the bases loaded. This team ain’t going to win with this core. Other than Nimmo none of them grind out at bats and get on base enough.

    Whomever the equivalent of Fran Brown is in college hoops. Talent wins games... can we stop playing with inferior talent? Can't wait for the day where we aren't playing 4 or 3 on 5 on offense because the other team doesn't have to guard our players. Can't wait for the day we stop playing power...

    I don't understand the concern over the portal. We got three very highly rated portal transfers that had a number of high major offers... two got hurt. We also got a player with very a good prospect profile out of Kansas as a bit of a flyer. Sure we lost Edwards... but that dead horse has been...

    Q-

    Huh? Next year assuming Mintz is gone, He’s the only player on the team who can both get his own shot whenever he wants to and he is the only legit 3 level scorer we have. Not to turn this into a jj thread, but how is he not a starter?

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    We have immature players. That is clear. I guess I don’t see every little thing like this as an indictment of the coaching staff. Staying in zone too long and leaving Taylor out there too long are definitely indictments of the coaches. One other observation… Bell has no clue how to play zone...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Why is players talking it out on the sidelines or in the game a sign of loss of control by coaches? Maybe the non-conspiracy theory version is these are high caliber athletes who are used to winning and care about winning and are pushing each other to get better? These guys know they need to win...

    Stayed in the zone too long. Real problem is they can’t shoot. Even below average shooting and this game is a win.

    Program changing win

    I think this is a case where the the outliers are messing up the stats. Against teams who can break down the perimeter D or when our perimeters defenders stop trying because a butterfly flew past them our D is no bueno. Luckily we hold up against average teams and can dominate below average...

    Red or Players, which is it

    You all are insane… today BC hung with Duke and Miami is hanging with UNC. This team dominated both of those teams for long stretches. This team had pretty good talent and when playing with full effort was dominating good teams. They have also gotten markedly better since the beginning of the...

    What’s the gameplan?

    At some point it’s on the players to live up to their prospect profile. JJ was hurt and that messed up his shot. I’m sure Judah is working on his perimeter game because that will make or break his professional career. It wasn’t just our coaches… JJ was a top transfer target everyone wanted...

    What’s the gameplan?

    The plan on O was to have two guards who are interchangeable, are lethal in the open court and are triple threats. Then you have Bell and Taylor as perimeter threats to create space for the guards. Westry and Cope were meant to be slashers who could cause chaos by breaking down the D. Benny was...

    Mintz reminds me of those hard nosed annoying NYC guards that Seton Hall, St John’s and Providence seemed to always have. Not the greatest shooters but the game definitely ran through them.

    I don't know about next year being a bridge year...

    As I reflect… the real issue is that 17 seconds was probably the peak for this team, but the Chiefs have another level they can get to that the Bills can’t match because they have hof talent in Mahomes, Kelce, Reid and other elite talent like Jones. This version of the Bills just has Allen. It’s...
